# Data sources
This page is a reference showing the sources of the data used in the defaults files.
For example, if you are wondering what list is used by the Christmas Collection, you can find that information here.
Nothing on this page is required for using the defaults files, but it can be useful for understanding where the data comes from.
Nothing on this page is directly useful for customizing the defaults.
Nothing here is a code example for end user use. It all *looks* like code, since it is taken directly *from* the Kometa source code to ensure it is up-to-date and accurate, but it is not intended for end user use, and is expressed in a different format to the way you would customize the defaults via template variables.
## I want to customize the defaults
You will want to start [here](./guide.md).
Each default has its own set of template variables, which are used to control the behavior of that default. Those will be listed on the individual page for each default.
## I want to know what's behind the defaults
These are lists provided for reference to show what values will be in use if you do no customization. **These do not
show how to customize the defaults.**
Nothing here is a code example for end user use. It all *looks* like code, since it is taken directly *from* the Kometa source code to ensure it is up-to-date and accurate, but it is not intended for end user use.
If you want to customize these values, refer to [this](#i-want-to-customize-the-defaults).
